🦠 What is Hantavirus?
Hantavirus is a rare but serious virus spread mainly through contact with rodents, especially their droppings, urine, or saliva. People can become infected by breathing in contaminated air particles while cleaning garages, sheds, attics, or storage areas.
⚠️ Symptoms may start like the flu:
* Fever
* Fatigue
* Muscle aches
* Headache
* Nausea or vomiting
As it progresses, it can lead to severe breathing problems and become life-threatening.
🏡 How to protect yourself:
✔️ Avoid sweeping or vacuuming rodent droppings
✔️ Wear gloves and a mask when cleaning affected areas
✔️ Disinfect surfaces with bleach solution first
✔️ Seal holes and keep food stored properly to prevent rodents
Early medical attention is important if symptoms develop after rodent exposure.
Your health matters. Stay informed. Stay protected. ❤️
